THE GREAT RACE 71 


SKANDAL SKATERS 


WONDERFUL WORLD OF SPORTS 

Well gang another year has passed and 
so has this aging sportster. Or at least 
almost!!! Sunday, June 13th, 1971, it 
so happens, was designated Bay Bum¬ 
mers Cross City Skate Day. Or (Look 
out San Francisco, 100 Jean Claude 
Kiley’s on ROLLER SKATES are about 
to decend on your, whether you’re 
ready or not and neither are they). 

George Banda, originator of this clas¬ 
sic event, was on hand looking very 
dapper in his Referee type shirt. Rules 
spewd from his mouth as he stood at 
the rear of his Ranchero like Casey 
Stengle in the Bull Pen. As he spoke to 
those of us who were about to take part 
in this, (another of many) GRAND 
PRIX of the roller skating set, he filled 
us with such inspiration that I was al¬ 


most sick. Especially when in answer to 
my question, was an ambulance in read¬ 
iness all along the route, he laughed un¬ 
controllably. Fortunately I had had 
presence of mind not to flatter my inner 
sports like feelings and hope to make it 
all the way from THE PENDULUM to 
the finish line at JACKSON’S. There 
were those who did however. That 
Mavis, you know, the three time win¬ 
ner? Well let me tell you, that girl has 
no charity. Could she let some of us 
think we might have a chance? Huh!!! 
She went the entire route in 35 minutes 
flat. The same time it took me to find 
out which skate went on which foot. 
Now really Mavis, winner take all and all 
that but my dear ... 

There were tons of contestants in this 
year’s meet. Most were dressed for the 
occassion as is fitting an event of such 
magnitude. The team from DORI’S, 
(which I might add won first place as a 
Team) were subtly dressed in sedate 
Sunday Drag, complete with fuchsia 
hued coifs instigated by, you guessed it, 
REBA. She coached her team with 
aplomb. Another team, the Skandal 














BOO AND THE NEW BELL TEAM 


HEAD COACH - GEORGE BANDA 


SAN FRANCISCO’S NEWEST FUN BAR 


Skaters from THE ROYAL 
SCANDALS, wore Red Pattent Knick¬ 
ers and Vests with the Royal Insignia on 
them. They also carried what appeared 
to be newsboy bags with big red lips on 
them. Inside they carried flyers for their 
forth coming show. One would think 
with their duties involving flyer passing 
for P.R. they would never have placed, 
but to our surprise, they came in second 
as a Team. Only because the team be¬ 
fore them had failed to follow the rules. 

Zooming up and down the hills of the 
Queen City certainly gave some of our 
up-tight neighbors along the way a lot 
of joy. I saw two little old men betting 
on some queen who had wrapped her¬ 
self around a pole 7 or 8 times. I 
couldn’t really tell what the bet was 
about since just at that moment 
MICHELLE was tearing down a wall of 


ivy growing on Bay Street in a desperate 
attempt to maintain some semblance of 
balance before addressing Columbus 
Street. 

Waiting at the finish line for some of 
the contestants to arrive was really a fun 
trip never to be described on these few 
pages. Straights and Gays alike were in 
convulsions of laughter which really 
didn’t help those seriously engaged in 
trying to win. They were soon giggling 
and skating and gigling some more. 
Some lost track of the route and this 
morning I’m sure I saw some dizzy 
queen wearing silver crinkle ribbon hair, 
skooting down the MacArthur Freeway 
on her way to Berkeley. I hope someone 
told her before it was too late. 

Those of you who missed the actual 
race, were probably on hand at JACK¬ 
SON’S to greet the sportsters. If you 


were, you probably had one of the most 
enjoyable afternoons in a long time. 
Bob, the piano player was up to his pits 
in singers and booze flowed freely. Our 
hats off to JACKSON’S for another 
successful and most enjoyable event. 
Next year maybe Dowager Empress 
SHIRLEY will try. We hear she is ab¬ 
solutely fantastic.

IN MEMORIAM 

We would like to express our sympathy 
and deep loss for another beloved member 
of our community who is no longer with 
us'. Jesse aguila, one of the city’s 
best liked entertainers. Jesse had played' 
the piano for so long, that we took him 
.for granted, now that he is gone, a void 
will stand where once a fine human being 
stood. We will all miss Jesse, and 
especially those who worked with him at 
the close of his life, the crew 
at the Jug-O-Punch. Now rest well, Jesse. 



2*t editorial 


There are many unsung heroes in our midst, 
these are the fighters in our community. 
They are the people who fight for you. 

They have thrown off their cloaks of mid¬ 
dle class retience and found a better way 
of life. They are free from all the sex¬ 
ual bugaboos,social taboos and religious 
fallacies. They have found themselves an 
inner peace of mind, completely free from 
stigma and fear. These people, nay heroes, 
cannot be harmed by the so-called estab¬ 
lishment , because there is no fear that 
the authoritarians can use to silence 
them. This group quietly fights for you 
in court, in police stations, in business, 
in government and many times in public. 
Every now and then they ask'for a little 
help from each and every one of us. They 
dont want us to speak, or make fools of 
ourselves, just show up and be counted. 
They try to show the public and govern¬ 
ment officials that we care, and that we 
too are human beings and would like some 
laws changed. They don’t ask often, but 
when they do, don’t you think we should 
have the common courtesy to show up, if 
not to be counted, then just to say thank 
you? When politicians like John Burton 
,and Willie Brown can stand up and be 
counted, then why cant you? Is it really 
so much to ask, that you stand up and 
help the people who are willing to risk 
there reputations for you? Remember the 
next time you run to one of these people 
for help, when was the last time that 
you gave of yourself to help them or 
another human being????? 

We would like to remind you that even 
if you are uptight and afraid of your 
boss, job or neighbors, you still have 
the privacy of your voting booth, the 
least you can do is to exercise this 
right and vote for those in office who 
help us, and vote out of office all 
those who don’t....-...

You see, what John Herbert and 
Harvey Hart have chosen to do is to 
document prison life as it really is. Not 
so much the happenings, but the rela¬ 
tionships. This is the basic difference 
between the stage production and the 
film. What emerges is life as we live it. 
Human beings all around us. Not the 
cliche of the hardened criminal: But life. 
Life with an undercurrent of humor. 
Life with a smattering of tragedy. Life is 
life is life. Fine. We’re caught up and 
we’re caught in the documentary feel 
of the film. But it’s really unique in the 
field of documentation, too. Be¬ 
cause we forget we’re watching a docu¬ 
mentary. We forget we’re watching a 
film. We forget we’re watching a play.

‘Fortune and Men’s Eyes’ 
...and Michael Greer 


FORTUNE AND MEN’S EYES, pre¬ 
sented by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with 
Wendell Burton, Michael Greer, Zooey 
Hall and Danny Freedman, screenplay 
by John Herbert, based upon his play, 
music by Galt Mac Dermot, directed by 
Harvey Hart, in Metrocolor, at the 
Music Hall, Larkin between Geary and 
Post Streets. 


FORTUNE AND MEN’S EYES is 
not what you think it is. Not at all. 
What, on the stage, was a hard-hitting, 
consistently electrifying drama with in¬ 
terlaced, belted camp, has become-and 
you aren’t ready for this—a delicate, 
soft-spoken, easy-going drama, con¬ 
stantly riding on the shoulders of 
whimsical humor, interlaced with out¬ 
rageous—but never ever campy-humor, 
shaking unsteadily on the shoulders of 
classic tragedy. In this sense, FORTUNE 
AND MEN’S EYES is completely 
unique. It takes a few minutes to be¬ 
come accustomed to the oh-so-natural 
style of the film. Things happen-things 
that in the ordinary sense of life would 
be quite dramatic—and everyone stays 
cool. Apathy reigns supreme. And we 
wonder, at first, why that dramatic 
scene wasn’t done dramatically. Every¬ 
one talks just above a whisper. Even 
Queenie. Everyone. A boy is gang-raped 
in the mess hall and everyone is cool. 
Except the boy. And, of course, those 
in the heat of passion. But everyone 
else. Even the guards. No, wait! Some¬ 
one is concerned. Someone isn’t 
apathetic. Oh. It’s only Smitty. He’s 
new here. He hasn’t lived life yet. At 
least not life in a pressure cooker like a 


prison. “Why do they get away with 
it?”, he asks. “Nobody stands in the 
way when a guy’s getting his release.”, 
Rocky replies, “Nobody”. Not even the 













involved, for the first time in myriads of 
films, because it’s so real, because there 
are no characitures, because this is life 
as it is lived: in prison or in our homes. 
But there is a difference. And it sneaks 
up on you. It begins gnawing at your 
bones and you don’t realize it at first. 
Then there’s an itch. Then ...OUCH! My 
God, the apathy! The APATHY! A boy 
is beaten to death and very little is made 
of it. No depressions. No traumas. A 
few casual jokes, yes. Not sad jokes, 
though. But not hilarious ones, either. 
No one cares. But Smitty. And yet the 
theme of the film is resolved when 
Smitty no longer cares, either. When 
Smitty becomes apathetic, so goes the 
world-if the world were inside these 
prison walls. And a half-hour before, 
you were fascinated by the film, but 
uncommitted . . . you thought. A little 
twinge here and there, maybe. But un¬ 
committed. The last few minutes and 
you feel a little disturbed. The film is 
over and you stand up and your legs 
wobble. And your nerves are a little 
frayed. And you feel a little .queasy. 
And they’ve succeeded: the horrors of 
prison aren’t so much what you thought 
they were, after all. Oh, the brutality of 
the guards when uncalled-for and the 
apathy of the guards when called-for is 
bad enough. And the political system of 
the prisoners themselves is difficult, but 
man adjusts to most any environment. 
Boredom seems to be the worst, really. 
But what really happens—the penulti¬ 
mate horror of it all—is that no one 
cares . . . not for long. And everyone 
dies—within. Now and then one or 
another of the prisoners is aggravated to 
the point where he cares ... about 
himself and his feelings of the moment. 
And we care and we are temporarily 
shook-up and our hearts beat at the 
same double tempo as his. But we’re not 
inside. And nobody inside cares. We can 
see that, as clear as the day sneaks 
through the prison bars, perhaps for the 
first time in the long history of prison 
dramatization. 

To begin with the cast, it’s uniformly 
excellent. If you’re not sure at first, 
listen more carefully. That’s not a 
strange voice you’re hearing. Or a 
strange face you’re watching. You know 
him. And him. And ... why, you know 
them all. They’re all around you, every¬ 
day. ZAP! You’re committed. But the 



point of this paragraph is to talk about 
Michael Greer. Michael Greer, the life of 
the party. Michael Greer, always on. 
Michael Greer, who has developed from 
a run-of-the-country comic to Michael 
Greer, one of the greatest comedians 
alive today. Yes, I know Michael Greer 
and no, I’m not prejudiced. I’ve seen 
him be so bad, I’ve wanted to walk out. 
Years ago, in clubs, but bad nonetheless. 
I’ve been embarrassed for him in a film 
of late. But because I know him, I’m 
afraid I sit there with a “show-me” at¬ 
titude everytime he’s on. Therefore, it is 
my opinion (and a myriad of others) 
that he is one of the greatest comedians 
alive today. Now, my point is this: you 
all know this, you’ve all laughed ’til you 
cried, been overwhelmed ’til you 
cheered and in the stage version of 
FORTUNE AND MEN’S EYES, he gave 
the performance of his career. A perfor¬ 
mance born of the nightclub stage: out¬ 
rageous, hilarious camp (high and low) 
and genuine theatrical drama that 
produced power you didn’t expect. He 
shifted from one to the other. ZIP. 
ZAP. ZOP. CLICK. CLICK. CLICK. 
Each was effective and even brilliant, 
one after the other after the other. Back 
to back to back. Good. Queenie was a 
queen. Good. Queenie was also tough. 
Good. Real, convincing, hilarious, 
powerful. But now! I don’t believe it! 
More than I expected. More than I 
wanted. Michael has developed into a 
magnificent actor. Not good, mind you. 
But fantastic! His Queenie in the film is 
a queen and tough and a camp, but... 
and I swear I thought it was impossible 
for nearly any actor to do ... he has 
achieved that delicate balance . . . that 


illusive, delicate balance between the 
facets of Queenie’s personality. He is 
not a queen and a tough con, but a 
consistent mixture of the two. The 
facets are all there, always, at the same 
time, and each bubbles over or thrusts 
out in its own time, but they’re all there 
on view all the time. Like the film’s 
style as a whole: drama on the shoulders 
of humor, humor on the shoulders of 
tragedy. As an example, remember 
Queenie’s drag number at the Christmas 
party? On the stage, it was hilarious, 
outrageous, campy and a socko show- 
stopper. Now its outrageous and campy, 
but goddamn it, why do we sit there 
and cry? Because it’s incredibly 
pathetic: the piano is two-beats behind 
(Catch up, will you? Please!) and his 
hostility is coming out between his 
thighs as they bump and grind and his 
teeth are clinched behind the pepsodent 
smile. And goddamn it, nobody cares... 
not even him. But we do. Do we ever. 

And goddamn it, Michael Greer, I’m 
impressed with you again ... more than 
ever . . . and in spite of myself. And 
because performers like you make my 
soul breathe, I love you with all my 
heart.

Would you believe (shades of Lou 
Greene) the Tenderloin entry in JACK¬ 
SON’S Roller Derby—Terry of the 
GOLDEN DOOR, came in ninth, last 
Saturday. Pat Montclaire, Terry Taylor 
and Vicki Marlane (all in drag as boys) 
ran chasing the poor boy the whole 
route so he had to skate fast. Running is 
great for staying slim but all that way? 
These people have to be insane. The 
scene at the Finish Line was something 
else and only surpassed by the expres¬ 
sions on the faces of tourists and 
L.O.L.’s as the skaters shot by them. 
That hill down Bay Street was too much 
though and almost proved the undoing 
of several skaters. Mavis, the all time 
winner, hit the intersection of Bay and 
Columbus on a red light but darted and 
zigzagged right on through, you would 
have been amazed to have heard the re¬ 
marks hurled at him by drivers and oc¬ 
cupants of cars suddenly forced to 
brake to a stop. Their provocative de¬ 
scriptive adjectives were “right on” but 
why did they have to add crazy or dizzy 
to them? I was going to try out some jet 
skates provided for me but the sky 
rockets turned out to be duds so I gave 
up two blocks from the start at the 
PENDULUM. You just can’t trust any¬ 
one these days and I had been promised 
that with jets assistance I could win. 



THE TRAPP is having a Gala “Meet 
the Debutante” party on Saturday, June 
26th at 7 P.M. Can’t remember when 
this bar has really gone all out like this. 
Free limousine service also. This will be 
hosted by the Princess Royal, Fanny 
and the Royal Princess Maxine (almost 
slipped there). Lincoln, Bobby Allison, 
Lenny, and all the regular bartenders 
will be on hand. If not working, I’ll miss 
my guess if someone doesn’t deb 
Stanley Cant through as he has given up 
white for the year. THE TRAPP is one 
of the most popular bars, in the area 
and a crowd is promised to all that 
choose to promonade. 

Up the street THE GRUBSTAKE is 
not idle and have at least one Deb that I 
know of. Can’t be Donna, Bubbles, or 
John and who have I forgotten? Oh yes! 
It might be Randy. This hamburger 
heaven has the best food (hamburgers 
that is) in the city and no matter what 
hour of the day it is always crowded by 
people from every area. You’d be 
amazed at who you will see in there 2 
P.M. or 2 A.M. If you haven’t tried it, 
you should. The crew running it are a 
gas also and there is no cover charge for 


the entertainment. Please pay when 
served. 

I understand that Dennis of the 
RENDEZVOUS is coming up with some 
sort of promotion very soon that should 
put the Big “R” on every street in the 
city. Sounds good and should be great— 
we look forward to seeing it soon. 

Often here, lately, I’ve heard com¬ 
plaints about only the drags getting in 
the articles in the paper. Perhaps the 
reason is that they are the only one’s 
actively involved (outwardly) in the 
community and their activities bring 
them to everyone’s attention. The mere 
fact that some are complaining proves 
how effective they are. What is it they 
say? “When they stop talking about you 
it is time to worry!” I’m sure all of the 
other groups have much to offer the 
community and are welcome to pub¬ 
licity for their endeavors if they will 
make them known. 

THE ROYAL SCANDALS draws 
closer and I can’t wait to see what it’s 
all about. I understand the Dowagers 
can’t either. 

See ya there

Cancer Takes Care 


The Riff Raff ranks as one of the 
city’s more eye-catching restaur¬ 
ants.... Most gay restaurants seem 
to have excellent soups, but here 
they are fabulous... and nowhere 
else have I had such thick, creamy 
blue chesse dressing... price on en- 
tre is price of dinner, but the en- 
tre alone is well worth the charge.

(Closed Sunday and Monday) 


Warm, self-sacrificing, human and kind are 
the marvelous attributes of Cancer the Crab, 
the zodiacal sign which really cares. And what 
Canccrians care about the most is their home 
environment. They nurture and protect the 
home things of family and loved ones. And 
they lavish this care with all the solicitude of 
! a very fond and indulgent mother. They 
bustle about with all elbows going, wanting 
| nothing more than to care for those they love, 
do all the chores, provide the wonderfully 
nutritious meals, make sure that everything is 
warm and cozy, that overcoats are buttoned 
and galloshes are worn on rainy days. 

The crab symbol for Cancerians is highly 
appropriate however, the crab scurrying 
along, building a hard shell to hide the soft 
and vulnerable interior which can be too 
emotional. So the Cancerian can also be a 
very shy and retiring person. Fret and worry 
are no strangers here. They can worry about 
what to worry about if there is nothing to 
worry about. Every molehill has a fine chance 
\ to become a mountainous problem. And they 
will brood themselves into ulcers. Normally 
they themselves tend to eat with good ap¬ 
petites and enjoy the good foods they can 
i prepare. The Cancerian man just loves the 
! kitchen and is at home in it. Yet Cancerians 
are prone to digestive ailments and stomach 
problems. They also bump and injure their 
elbows with all their restless movement. 

The planetary significator for Cancerians is 
'the Moon. And the Moon in anyone’s chart 
[ also signifies the Mother. So Cancer is a sign 
which expresses maternality. Whatever a Can¬ 
cerian really cares about, he does so in an 
emotional, unifying and sometimes in a 
smothering manner. For those people who 
never will be weaned, the Cancerian provides 
the greatest of gifts. With no effort at all the 
Cancerian is a mother. 

But the changeable and restless Moon adds 
its influence to the Cancerian native. The 
Moon which moves so fast touches off every 
mundane affair by turn, activating each for 
about two and a half days on its regular 
twenty-eight day path around every chart. In¬ 
fluenced by the Moon, the Cancerian suffers 
his changes of mood, fortunes fluctuate, and 
every two or three days the battle is fought 
on yet another level. But the Cancerian can 
retire to his home, especially to his kitchen. 
The happier will he be if he lives in a corner 
house or apartment and it faces northward. 

The Cancerian is romantic and intuitive 
toward the needs of romance. Not always 
happiest when married, the Cancerian must 
have someone to care for. Because Cancer is a 
water sign and gets along well with the two 


other water signs, Scorpio and Pisces, it does 
not mean that everything is roses. The duality 
of Scorpio and Scorpio’s adventurousness 
bothers Cancer just as the vague elusiveness 
of Pisces is hardly a source of joy. When Can¬ 
cer is retreating, perhaps wanting to be 
followed, Pisces is running in the other direc¬ 
tion. 

The signs which the normal Cancerian had 
best avoid are Aires and Libra. The noisy ag¬ 
gressiveness is just too much for the quiet 
Cancerian, and the total lack of indecision of 
Libra provides the Cancerian with an annoy¬ 
ance best forgotten, for with a Libran the 
Cancerian must make all the decisions. 

Cancers best foil and best compliment is 
Capricorn. Only too frequently do opposite 
signs provide the complimentary qualities. 
Capricorn is ambitious, and Capricorn is shy. 
Capricorn knows best how to get the best 
qualities out of anyone (knows, in fact, how 
best other people may be used). Capricorn is 
the executive which Cancer needs, and Capri¬ 
corn is the only sign who can never be 
smothered by the excessive care of a Can- 
cerian’s love. But, even more than that, it is 
Capricorn who is capable of caring back to 
the Cancerian, of appreciating all the Can¬ 
cerian qualities, and can bring to the Can¬ 
cerian all the qualities and the very necessary 
practicality which the Cancerian lacks. 

Now, if it has been once said, let it again 
be said to those who are new to this column. 
Rmarks which are here made and aimed at the 
person born under the sign of Cancer or with 
the Sun in Cancer, are also applicable to all 
persons who have Cancer rising in their charts, 
and to some extent applicable to those who 
have the Moon in Cancer (where the Moon is 
at its strongest and most effective), or to 
those who have a strong concentration of 
planets in the sign of Cancer. In the para¬ 
graphs which follow, read your Sun sign for 
your forcast for the weekend of the Fourth of 
July. But, if you know your rising or ascend¬ 
ing sign, read that instead. 

One last Cancerian word. If you would 
make a Cancerian happy, or if you do not 
know what to give for the impending birth¬ 
day, anything for the home makes the nicest 
present for the Cancerian. Pearl and onyx are 
the Cancerian stones (rubies being priceless 
and not usually mentioned these days). 
Remember that whatever else you might give, 
green, silver and aquamarine are the favorite 
Cancerian colors. 

The weekend of July Fourth is upon us, 
and a nice long weekend it is going to be. 
Many will stretch four days into five, and 
some will begin their long annual vacations. 





















Of these, Geminis will have the best time of it 
and may even feel more like leaving on Thurs¬ 
day. They will, of course, be disappointed for 
a little while that certain other people cannot 
go with them. But they will have the neces¬ 
sary money and the desire to go to faraway 
places. Sagittarians may also feel like vac¬ 
ationing, but this is a time for Sagittarians to 
plan vacations, but, for the time being, to stay 
put. 

ARIES: You will want to stick around 
home right now and make those home im- 
provments. There may be .some disappoint¬ 
ment to do with your career as you head into 
the weekend. For solace, see only close 
friends. Take care that everyone shares ex¬ 
penses. Sunday and Monday will be your best 
days. Avoid troublesome people on Saturday, 
particularly late at night. Adapt to a possible 
change of plans on Sunday evening, and 
socialize quietly and only during the early 
hours of Monday. 

TAURUS: Although Saturday will not be a 
partciularly good day, the weekend should get 
off to a fine start on Friday. Sunday and 
Monday will turn out well for you. Your busi¬ 
ness life should be in good shape, so you may 
want to go off for a short weekend trip. These 
will contain some elements of disappoint¬ 
ment. Include close friends in these jaunts. 
Take careful note of their needs on Saturday. 
Avoid quarrels with them. The best trip will 
be a Sunday trip, and Sunday is good for 
socializing. Use the latter hours of Monday 
for rest and recuperation. 

GEMINI: Since your own'money situation 
is pretty good now, you ought to take a long 
trip or vacation. It would be wise of you to 
use this time to plan ahead, to study ways and 
means of doing what you want to do in the 
immediate future. As usual your interest is in 
communication with people and a desire to 
expand your mind. This is a time when you 
should think out how you can help others, 
thereby helping yourself at the same time. 
Watch for anything which might effect your 
health adversely on Saturday. Sunday and 
Monday will be fine days for you when you 
will feel better, be more inclined to socialize 
with close friends or a partner, giving them 
the attention which they expect of you. 

CANCER: This whole weekend should be 
very fine for you. This is the time when your 
personal initiative is high, and you can expect 
a great deal from persons close to you in the 
way of pleasure and affection and help. There 
may be some disappointment from a close 
partner. However, the weekend begins very 
favorably and progresses on a very high note 
of pleasurable optimism. You will certainly be 
very much on top of every situation and have 
only to watch your diet Sunday evening and 
Monday. On Monday others around you may 
take over the reins of leadership, and you may 
be called upon to do some real helping out. 

LEO: If you are not married, this is un¬ 
fortunate, for this would be a very good time 
for you to concern yourself with a close part¬ 
ner. As always, you can be depended upon to 
carry the field, but problems of all sorts are 


your concern this weekend. Perhaps you 
should stay home this weekend. People 
around you are going to create some pres¬ 
sures. Friday and Saturday are defmately at 
home days. Try to be tactful and quietly un¬ 
perturbed by it all. Your routine is sure to be 
disturbed, but Monday and Tuesday will be 
fine days for you, when having taken care of 
your health and your home environment, you 
will find yourself free to really think, plan 
and accomplish. 

VIRGO: As usual, your health and ef¬ 
ficiency and your abilities to serve others are 
going to preoccupy your weekend. Friday will 
not be a particularly good day until the even¬ 
ing hours. Your relationships with friends and 
co-workers are going to be prominent, but 
your love life may suffer a little disappoint¬ 
ment, probably made the greater if you ex¬ 
pect it to assume magnified proportions. Stick 
to whatever action plan you devise, and do 
not go off at tangents. You can handle prob¬ 
lems well this weekend. Stick to more mental 
activities and avoid not taking proper care of 
yourself. 

LIBRA: Your prime concern right now is 
your business career and your love life. You 
certainly will want to socialize a great deal 
this weekend, for things around home are 
bound to be not all that you would have them 
be. And monqy is what it will probably cost 
you. At least on Friday and Saturday evenings 
keep a goodly grip on the purse strings. You 
are bound to permit generosity to express. 
You will be fortunate in your dealings with 
your friends and neighbors, but save making 
decisions until Tuesday. Also avoid Sunday 
evening travel. 

SCORPIO: Only with a few problems 
around the fringes, this will be a very nice 
weekend for you. And about time, too. Al¬ 
though your routine may be somewhat upset, 
your home life is of primary interest and your 
mind is really working well. Your initiative is 
high as the weekend gets started. You are sure 
to be a center of interest. Friday and Satur¬ 
day are really fine days for you, but do not 
lapse into moodiness Saturday evening. Sun¬ 
day you come forth again despite the previous 
evening, but as you go into Sunday evening 
and Monday, money is going to assume some 
importance. You may spend more than 
planned, you may get some on which you had 
not planned. Business and career interests are 
going well now. 


SAGITTARIUS: Money will be a little 
disappointing right now for those short trips 
you will want to be making. Your routine 
work and communications with close relatives 
and neighbors are foremost in your mind. 
Give these priority. Devote yourself to relaxa¬ 
tion. Perhaps it would really be best if you 
stay at home and plan for future trips. Your 
Health really needs attention this weekend, 
and, even if Monday begins well, this month 
has not started out too well for you. All 
caution is recommended. 

CAPRICORN: Everybody having money 
problems really is nothing compared to this 
whole month for you where money making 
and spending are going to be very important 
to you. You go into the weekend fairly well, 
socializing with friends both Friday and 
Saturday. But Sunday and Monday are 
definitely. retirement days, days when you 
should hide out and avoid trouble. Through 
Sunday afternoon should still be pretty good, 
but retire from the scene earlier in the even¬ 
ing. From then on do everything you can to 
stay out of trouble. Your personal initiative is 
not really working for you. 

AQUARIUS: You will find yourself in one 
of your really vigorous periods where you 
want to do things and want to get ahead. How 
you will be able to tear yourself away from 
your work on Friday will be a mystery, for 
you will want to keep right on going. Your 
health will be at a high, and you will just want 
to keep going right through Saturday. Watch 
out for Saturday evening when there will be 
some tendency to encounter rather unusual 
and unpredictable or unreliable people. This 
will be a work weekend all the way. Continue 
to cool it with the people you meet on Mon¬ 
day evening. 

PISCES: This weekend, indeed, this whole 
month, is a good time for you to tie up un¬ 
finished work and pending problems. You are 
sure to feel the wieght of strange incapacities 
to deal with your own problems and those of 
your friends at this time. But since your health 
will be pretty good, it is just possible that you 
will finally accomplish your way out of the 
paper bag in which you have lately been find¬ 
ing yourself. Friends may disappoint you on 
Friday. And you have to watch out for ac¬ 
cidents on Saturday evening. Sunday will be 
spent in quiet introspection. By Monday, 
despite the holiday, you may find yourself 
tired and still hard at work.

Savoy-Tivoli 


Here we go again, turning back the 
clock. This restaurant is on one of those 
outstanding streets in San Francisco 
where, if you did not know where you 
were, you could be in, Paris, London, 
The Village in N.Y., or Upper “Grant 
Ave.” in “Bagdad by the Bay”. The 
name itself for me is romantic. It con¬ 
jures up nostalgia in the form of, silent 
films, the Black Bottom, or maybe 
“Dollie Levy” descending that staircase 
at the “Harmonia Gardens”. One could 
not really refer to the SAVOY as a gay 
establishment, the clientel is very color¬ 
ful, by their labels we can observe hip¬ 
pies, beatniks, squares, gays, and of 
course, the staff. Our bartender was 
Peter, a very nice fellow with a rather 
sober attitude, and also there was Duke 
who is always very pleasant. We had a 
couple of drinks at the bar and let the 
feeling of the room come over us. We 
were greated warmly by our little friend 
and waiter, Douglas. He escorted us to 
our table, near a little fountain, and we 
enjoyed one of the best meals I have 
had in a long time, not that the food 
was so fantastic, but everything blended 
so very nicely. The service, the atmos¬ 
phere, and the price is certainly right. 

LATEX LILY’S 

This delightful little restaurant serves 
lunch. The bill of fare is standard, 
salads, sandwiches, spaghetti, with some 
rather diverting titles you can order any¬ 
thing from a Skinny Lily to a Lady 
Lamont. They are located at 209 
Stevenson, off of Third Street and open 


from 11:00 to 10:00; closed Saturday 
and Sunday. Carl and Bob are very con¬ 
genial hosts and the very nice John, 
John, formerly of Gold Street. 

HORS D’OEUVRE 

Scoop—You all remember the 
“Giants” that fine group of entertainers 
that used to be at the FANTASY now 
known as the ALLEY CAT. Well they 
have enlarged their group and they are 
now called the “Good Humor Com¬ 
pany” and they will be on Carol 
Burnett’s Show, June 29th. 

The Tavern Guild voted to give finan¬ 
cial support to the “Sonoma 7”. 

Look for the opening soon on Polk 
Street of the new western bar to be 
called POLK ALONG. It used to be 
known as the MAPLE LEAF. Good luck 
to Bill and Frank of the HOUSE OF 
HARMONY. 

July 11th is the date for Jay Suther¬ 
land and Rick Lane at the BAJOU 
LOUNGE in Redwood City. 

I think it’s a shame that Greta Grass, 
who works at the lovely BAJ on Bay 
must suplement his income working at 
the lovely JACKSON’S around the cor¬ 
ner on his days off. Of course that drag 
does run into money. 

What past Royalty of San Francisco 
had to be bailed out the other A.M. for 
not paying those traffic tickets-shame, 
shame. 

How sad that Erik, the very fine 
maitre’d at the P.S., on Polk will be 
leaving same, for an extended? 

“Dirty Edna” has this idea that he 








wants to turn the AMBASSADOR BAR 
at Eddy and Mason, “Eddie Kaufman” I 
love you but I have my reservations, 
Good luck anyway. 

It’s election time for the Board of 
Directors for the Tavern Guild. Remem¬ 
ber if you do not vote, you have no 
right to bitch. 

What bar owner in San Francisco has 
“threatened” some of his employees 
with the ax if they patronize his com¬ 
petition? Wow, if you know who you 
are, I say to hell with you. That’s almost 
as bad as the bar owner that is known to 
have put barbituates in his bartenders 
drinks because he thought it was funny. 
Yes my dears, there are bartenders in 
the city that are not “Heads”. 

Opening July 13th, the new room at 
the P.S. called POST SIDE featuring 
Allan Lloyd and Co. in “The Show” 
The P.S. also has a gal by the name of 
“Marie McGill” Wednesday thru Satur¬ 
day in their main bar. 

If you dig Picasso, If you have ever 
seen Dunham’s Dancers, if you can 
imagine Stravinsky in rock feeling-run 
don’t walk to Lone Mountain Theatre 
and see “Tommy”. There is a lot of 
magic in that show. Take a pillow, the 
seats are hard and wear something cool 
as it gets very warm. 

You should hear the all male corns of 
“Spoonful of Sugar” slated for July 
10-16-17-18 at THE VILLAGE. The 
selection of music, along with the talent 
of Denise Moreen is a little more magic, 
along with Ellen Gallagher, Fred 
Howell, Jay Sutherland, Vasiliy Legers 
and guest star David Kelsey. 

TOTIES, TOTIES, TOTIES, that 
new bar on Larkin has a real group of 
do-er’s, no matter what the event, the 
club is sure to be represented. They 
were the best group at the picnic. No 
wonder, with Rex on their team. 

The “Coits” have their fifth annual 
COITILLION at THE VILLAGE June 
26th and as usual with their events it 
looks like a sell out. 

ROYAL SCANDALS at the 
COVERED WAGON July 3rd and 4th. 

Charles Pierce did indeed play to 
standing room only. The sentiment was 
so heavy that I was reminded of the 
Judy Garland days. 

How sad that J.J., the bartender 
from the FOX was let go. He added so 
much to the place. 


COMMENT 

In the June Vector there is an out¬ 
standing article by Martin Stow called 
the “Gay and the Powerful.” Mr. Stow 
uses as a base for his article the recent 
survey by the Chronicle and also a simi¬ 
lar pole by “Farwest Research.” 

He speaks of the three or more 
power structures, mainly political, 
financial, and religious. 

In reading this article, I could not 
keep the thought from my mind that in 
our homophile community we have 
allowed very definite blocks to form. 
We have the Tavern Guild which is quite 
successful, in the organization of the 
bars and restaurants in the Bay Area. 
Then we have Society for Individual 
Rights, again very successful in the 
social area of our community and also 
the political arena. The newest organiza¬ 
tion is the Metropolitan Community 
Church. Again quite successful, in the 
Bay Area, even tho their success has 
been much greater in the L.A. area. 

,Not so many years ago the homo had 
no one to turn to, and many people to 
fear. Now we have organizations, not 
only, the three I have mentioned but 
many more, fighting for everything 


from our vote, to our dollar to our soul. 
This I believe is all well and good. But I 
cannot help but feel that we could ac¬ 
complish so much more in a much 
shorter period of time if these organiza¬ 
tions could come together and work 
together for what they all agree on, on 
the surface. I know for a fact that the 
communication between these three 
particular groups is not good. 1 would 
only address myself to the men in the 
position of influence in San Francisco. 
We have succeeded where others have 
failed, we have gone where angels fear 
to tread. Yes let the record speak for 
itself, you and the many fine people be¬ 
fore you, who have given of your time 
so unselfishly have done a good job. But 
for the sake of the record, for the sake 
of the community, for the future of the 
homosexual, all over the world, I pray 
you do not limit yourself. Keep the 
doors open, come closer together, fight 
the short sighted “bigot” in our midst 
that would limit us to a token integra¬ 
tion . I dream that one day, San 
Francisco’s organizations will sit at one 
table, pulling on their best resources for 
the betterment of all men. 
































‘Tommy’:a Gorgeous Number! 


by Terry Alan Smith 


TOMMY, a mixed-media production 
of the rock opera written by The Who, 
at Lone Mountain College, in the 
WAGE, 2800 Turk Street, Tuesday 
through Friday at 8:30, Saturday at 
8:30 and 10:45. Tickets available at all 
Ticketron Locations or Lone Mountain 
College A.S.B. Office, 752-9857. 


TOMMY is the most gorgeous, ex¬ 
citing and completely satisfying number 
in town. You notice it right away: as 
you enter, you see all the beautiful 
people who inhabit the cast: the girls in 
virgin-white, flowing dresses, the boys in 
white, skin-tight leotards with no shirts. 
They are exercising and playing and we 
revel in their child-like abandon. Then, 
the rock group begins to play the score 
with the same excitement you might 
expect from a “live” performance by 
The Who, themselves (even the French 
Horn is there). The singers begin and 
they communicate the lyrics with total 
verbal clarity—every word as clear as a 
bell—and they sing the songs from their 
hearts and souls. A sadistic lyric, like 
Cousin Keven, is sung with whip-lash in 
their voices, a caustic lyric, like Fiddle 
About, is sung with all the sarcasm they 
can muster, Acid Queen is sung with 
sensuousness and a tantalization that 
makes you want to try her wares your¬ 
self. Conversely, Tommy’s See Me, Feel 
Me, Touch Me, Heal Me is sung with 
such pathos, you find yourself reaching 
out to him.

The dancers are phenominal! Not 
once does any member of the company 
lack grace. They move around the cen¬ 
tral figures like so many ghosts or, more 
accurately, mirrors of Tommy’s mind. 
The silent mime Tommy meets in his 
mind, who guides him through the per¬ 
formance (Andrew Woodd), enters by 
slithering down a series of multi-level 
platforms as effortlessly as a snake. The 
mime’s concern for Tommy and 
Tommy’s experiences-both real and 
imagined-is so touchingly communi¬ 
cated, we fall in love with him. He is 
truly a once-in-a-lifetime companion to 
Tommy and, through Tommy’s mind’s 
eye, to us. His make-up is that of a 
magnificent Grand Guignol figure and 
I’ll always remember him in my mind’s 
eye. 

Tommy, himself, is a haunting figure. 
As played by John Loschmann, he is 
always in character, always caught up in 
a collage of images, groping his way 
through them, but not seeing any of 
them. The look in his eyes, as he stares 
our way, but fails to see us, the in¬ 
credible energy in his dancing, the 
precision of his movements and his 
phenomenal grace, while in constant 
motion for the entire performance, will 
haunt me for years to come—especially 
the look in his eyes: of wonder, of not 
understanding, of desparation, of 
hoping... He communicated to me like 
few other performers have and I’ll never 
forget it. He is indelibly burned into my 
memory. 

But here’s the thing that will really 
blow your mind: The director, John 
Pasqualetti, has provided images to in¬ 
terpret the lyrics beyond your wildest 
imagination. And not just one. And not 
just every now and then. But every 
goddamn moment, back to back, un¬ 
relentingly, his genius is there for you to 
behold. At the beginning, when Tommy 
is born, and is flung out from under the 
skirts of his mother to lie in a crumpled 
heap, center stage, your mouth drops 
open, wider than you can ever remem¬ 
ber. And before you can close it, 
another image, stronger and -more im¬ 
portant-right! You know it’s right. You 


feel it’s right. “Yes! Yes! That’s it!”, 
you scream inside yourself. And you 
have barely the presence of mind to 
breathe. And the thoughts of cigarettes, 
sex, air conditioning are gone—and you 
don’t care. You don’t even remember 
such things and you watch and you cry 
because each visual image is so beautiful 
and there’s that music climbing up your 
spine and those lyrics shaking your 
mind around and you think, “I can’t 
take such beauty, such excitement! I 
want to run out of the theare and back 
into the world of mediocrity where even 
one scene like any one in this produc¬ 
tion would be enough to make me 
thank the muse!” But it goes on: 
Tommy and his reflection (a girl-the 
other half of his Astral Body?—oooh!) 
in the mirror play and smile at each 
other and she pulls him through and he 
plays with her friends on the other side. 
Then. They smash the mirror. His mir¬ 
ror. The joy in his life—the only joy. 
And she dies. His reflection. And they 
carry her off and you hear the funeral 
chant for her. But Tommy doesn’t cry. 
We do. 

At the end, when Tommy insists that 
he be followed with purity, without al¬ 
cohol, without drugs, with just an open 
soul and he is rejected and left alone, 
the production is over. And we are left 
alone, too. Tommy is gone, just an actor 
in his stead. And his reflection. And the 
mime. All gone. And once again, we’re 
in the world of mediocrity. But we 
don’t want to go. We feel our clothes. 
We’re dripping wet. We’re exhausted. 
We’ve been completely satisfied and 
we’re hooked. We want to come back 
again and again and again, so as to not 
let the experience be lost forever. 

If you haven’t seen TOMMY yet, 
throw away your doubts. No matter 
whether you’re into rock or not, this is 
a theatrical experience you’ll wait years 
to come close to and an experience of 
life you may never be able to duplicate. 
How a college can produce a theatrical 
production that surpasses even the orig¬ 
inal production of ^/icz/r—especially in a 
city that gives birth to Knickerbocker 
Holiday— is beyond my understanding. 
But one did. And thank God.

nttf 

How many times have you been a 
stranger in a new city and without aid 
of one of the many Bar Guides avail¬ 
able, were able to find a gay bar. Then 
at the same time upon arriving, was con¬ 
fronted by a bartender who’s total in¬ 
terest was or seemed to be devoted 
totally to regular customers or himself 
or to high camp behind the bar. All of 
die aforementioned qualities are to be 
’auded and are an asset to any good 
oartender. The following is not a slam at 
any one particular bar or employee but 
most assuredly aimed at an attitude I do 
and have seen repeatedly in any of a 
number of clubs through-out our quaint 
little village. A village 1 might add, 
which draws pilgrims from across the 
nation. 

I would imagine in our 70 odd bars, 
at least 60 of them have strangers who 
have heard all the wonders of the city 
and the joy to be found here, visiting] 
their establishments at least twice in any 
given evening. More on weekends of 
course. Now, how many of these same 
strangers leave these establishments with 
the warm glow of friendship (not alco¬ 
holic) that we as a community hope to 
convey? One really can’t blame the 
room, be it a dump or palace, large or 
small, expensive or well priced. The 
owner usually establishes house policy 
and type of clientele desired, and usual¬ 
ly his role ends there unless he handles 
business during the daytime hours 
which is wise. Where then does the bulk 
of one’s success lie in any bar? Yes it’s 
true. With the bartender! 

What are some of the qualities one 
looks for in a bartender? Let me see. 
Good-looking? Not an absolute but 
helpful. Good business head? A must I 
would say. Able to meet people? One 
would hope so. Fast?'Depends on busi¬ 
ness. These are all the obvious of course. 
Let’s look at the subject from another 
angle. 

Let’s look at this from the eye of Mr. 
New Arrival. Most folks to my know¬ 
ledge are basically shy in a strange place. 
They seek any of a number of things 



THE TOWN 5Q.UIRE 1318 POLKS TREETb 1 ^! 


upon entering a gay bar. Sex usually and 
possibly most obvious. Companionship 
and warmth I guess could come next. 
Maybe they are a bartender in their own 
city and are looking for new techniques 
or ideas they might employ in their 
cities. We have been known to be a 
trend setting city and I still believe imi¬ 
tation is still the best form of flattery. 
So for this person the bartender would 
of course be that source. This person 
could have dropped in merely knowing 
the bar was gay, but have a definite trip 
in mind and not actually be where he 
would like to be. What about him? 

Bartenders, I feel have a most impor- 
. rant role if not the most important role 
in any bar. It is more than that actually. 
Really it is a responsibility. Not only to 
his employer, but to the city, his area, 
his clientele, and when all this is done, 
his responsibility to himself (most im¬ 
portant) is complete. A sense of cride 
should prevail when an InnKeep has 
greeted an old friend, a party of six, two 
newcomers, asked an obnoxious client 
to leave, remembered all of the afore¬ 


mentioned’s drinks, and then has a 
moment to introduce an out-of-towner 
to at least three different types. Said 
out-of-towner can now make his own 
choice. Or maybe innkeep can direct 
him to a place more to his liking. One 
isn’t losing business when this occurs, 
since this individual most usually will 
say where he heard about said establish¬ 
ment and the bartender there, if he has, 
some sense, will return the compliment 
and two people will have been made 
happy. 

When one multiplies this by the 
numbers of bars and dinner houses in 
our city, it boggles the mind to think of 
the many happy people, bartenders, and 
barowners, to say nothhing of the up¬ 
grading of our community by our own 
initiative and boot strap pulling. I guess 
if we think about it, we’re really saying, 
Servie others as you would hope to be 
served. I think I’ve heard that some¬ 
where before!!

Sunday afternoons have always been 
a popular event for San Franciscans, gay 
or straight, add to that a popular enter¬ 
tainer, mix and serve with a lavish pro¬ 
duction and it makes for an enjoyable 
event. Such was so this past week as the 
Charles Pierce show rolled into 
BIMBO’S 365 Club, for a five day stand. 

It was greeted with much acclaim and 
hossanas, and from the performance I 
saw, Charles should garner 95 percent of 
therm As all shows have beginnings, 
Charles outshone them all. As the mul¬ 
tiple curtains parted and rose there was 
Charles, seated in a sea of fog, dazzling 
the eye with gown and fan. What fol¬ 
lowed was an array of the best of 
Charles Pierce that was continuously 
funny. THE GILDED CAGE was a good 
school for Charles, and he has learned 
his lessons well, and transformed to the 
large stage at BIMBO’S he moved easily 
and effectively, taking advantage of 
space and curtain and audience. Every¬ 
one was in attendance, Bette Davis, Mae 
West, Eleanor Roosevelt and Katy 
Hepburn. Here was something for 
Charles the actor (or male actress as he 
prefers), his interpretation as Coco 
Chanel was nothing short of brilliant 
and if I was dismayed by hearing old 



material and jokes, which I was, Charles 
erased it all with this splendid bit of 
artistry. While others were cheering and 
stomping their feet for more Jeanette 
McDonald, I was doing the same, but 
for more of the Coco style of material, 
as it was fresh and new and of the day. 
I’m not saying that the show’s finale 
“San Francisco” was not great, it was 
what all were waiting for, but Charles 
proved with the Coco number that he 
was indeed a male actress.

varietal acts ranging' from very poor to 
excellent. Outstanding were the antics 
of Rio Dante who was subperb in all he 
did. The nun, on roller skates was pure 
joy. So nice to see you again Rio. The 
male song stylist was one Brian Avery, 
who I’m afraid had a bad case of in¬ 
flated self image. Mr. Avery has a good, 
well sounding stage voice, but no one 
| cares if you are gay or straight Mr. 

1 AVERY. Also no one really cares to 
I hear that you are a member of the Mo¬ 
tion Picture Academy of Arts and 
Sciences. That’s why they have pro¬ 
grams, so that your credits may be 
listed. Mr. Roy Gaynor whose imperson¬ 
ation of Carol Channing was excellent in 
both voice and looks, but I’m afraid his 
choice of song was a poor one. In the 
overture “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best 
Friend” was included, but not in the 
act. Also the montage was much too 
long and much too old, why not 
change? In almost four years of doing 
Carol Channing why must he say the 
same things he said at the Redwood 
Room eons ago? Also I might add word 
for word. The female song bird was 
Eileen Gallagher. Miss Gallagher has a 
beautiful voice and to hear her sing is 
always a pleasure, and she is also a 
strong asset to any production. But, 
Sunday afternoon was not one of 
Eileen’s best, “Play Gypsies, Dance 
Gypsies” sounded a bit cold. The love 
aria from “Samson” fell short in the 
upper register, but I know how well 
Miss Gallagher does this so I’m sure it 
was just an off day. The musical ac¬ 
companiment consisted of David Kelsey 
on organ, and Patty on drums, plus 
three brass men. Mr. Kelsey played and 
conducted with his usual high style and 
vigor. The lady drummer gets my vote 
for drummer of the year award 
(Playboy take notice), but with the ad¬ 
dition of the brass it sounded like the 
Mission Follies. But I gues we must all 
bow to the musicians union. 

The show must indeed be classified 
as a success for Charles and his able 
producer, Mr. Les Natali, who furnished 
the trappings. Eager audiences will be 
awaiting their return in August. Quality 
and good taste always win out in the 
end. 

(Ed. Note-July 20 Charles will re¬ 
turn to Bimbo’s for a limited engage¬ 
ment.)

SERVING the HOMOPHILE COMMUNITY 


“A church for gays? You must be 
kidding!” This has been the initial res¬ 
ponse of many gay individuals when 
told that a church had been formed by 
homosexuals to implement a non- 
condcming Christian ministry to . the 
nation’s second-largest minority, the 
hidden homosexual community.

Metropolitan Community Church 
was founded in Los Angeles in October, 
1968 by a young gay minister. Reverend 
Troy Perry. Twelve persons attended 
that first worship service. Today, there 
are over twenty MCC churches and mis¬ 
sions spread over half the globe, from 
Miami to Honolulu. Regular weekly at¬ 
tendance at the Los Angeles church 
alone exceeds 800! 

The San Francisco congreation at¬ 
tributes its birthplace to JACKSON’S 
“Penthouse” where, on February 22, 
1970, it held its first service with 19 
persons in attendance. For six months, 
the fledgling congreation and its young 
pastor, Howard Wells, had to fight with 
the noise from the jukebox and “two 
screwdrivers and one gin and tonic” 
from downstairs as they worshipped a 
loving God, not an authoritarian, anti- 
sexual deity that the established church 
would have us believe. 

Metropolitan Community Church of 
San Francisco quickly outgrew the 
“Penthouse” or “The Upper Room” as 


MCC’ers called it, and moved into 
California Hall. Within six months, the 
burgeoning congreation grew out of its 
200-seat meeting hall and at present is 
meeting in the main California Hall 
Auditorium with an average weekly at¬ 
tendance of well over 200 persons. 

Why the rapid growth? The success 
of MCC can only be attributed to a sin¬ 
cere Christian ministry couched in terms 
of love and self-respect, not in “fire and 
brimstone” and rank church hypocrisy. 
At MCC, people really care about other 
people, regardless whether they are sex¬ 
ually appealing or not. The old and the 
young, the guys and the gals really 
relate to each other in love because they 
have learned to love themselves by 
developing dynamic personal relation¬ 
ships with Christ. 

MCC’ers strive to express their loving 
faith through actions, not just by talk¬ 
ing about it. As a result, don’t be sur¬ 
prised if you run into someone on Polk 
Street at 2:00 A.M. who hands you a 
flyer stating “Take a trick to church!” 
or if the guy beside you in the bars or 
the baths asks you “How about coming 
to MCC with me Sunday?” 

MCC is more than worship services. 
It’s a community center at 1760 Market 
Street where depressed oldsters or con¬ 
fused youngsters out on their own for 
the first time can find a sympathetic 
person to help them. It’s a group of 
people getting together to take food to 
a welfare recipient who finds out that 
his meager financial resources are shor¬ 
ter than the end of the month. It’s a 
community sharing in fellowship at a 
picnic, dance, dinner, or skating party. 
It’s a concerted effort to be a spiritual 
thorn in the side of established churches 
to wake them up to the fact that they 
are pushing “churchianity” instead of 
Christianity and in so doing, to help 
them open their doors to gays so we can 
close ours. 

It’s not MCC’s business to “save” 
people; rather, the goal of MCC is to 
assist people to get over their hangups 
and egotrips so they can respond to how 
beautiful and purposeful life can be 
with Christ’s love in their lives. We have 
a lot of love to share—it’s yours for the 
asking!

MCC Community Center at 1760 Mar¬ 
ket Street or call 864-3576.

Hi, all you beautiful people. This is 
Grande Czarina Gabby from the Penin¬ 
sula. 

Ran into Princess Royale, Storm at 
the P.S., in S.F., she was in a marvelous 
mood and had a very handsome date 
with her. The dinner was outstanding, 
even the waiters were in hot pants, it 
was enough to make you order two 
deserts. 

Ken, Merle, and Terry, gave one of 
the finest parties I’ve ever attended. 
Congratulations guys it was a ball. 

The last two Sundays we were guests 
of Darrel and Bobby Prettyman-they 
live up to their name-on their sail boat 
cruising S.F. Bay. They served fabulous 
food and drinks. Other guests were Bob 
Lobough, Don Gray, all of whom are 
my Royale Honor Guards-eat your 
hearts out girls. 

A jet set party was given at the 
TINKER’S DAMN Sunday evening, 
hosted by High Chief and Chieftess of 
The Society Islands. Champagne flowed 
over giant strawberries flown in for the 
occassion by Sir George. The bar was 
transformed into a Hawaiian paradise. 
Myself and Prince Consort Dennis 
Clauson were guests of honor, a glitter¬ 
ing affair. Thank you Ernest and 
Lolonie and Sir George and Jack. 

My Royale Court and I attended the 
coronation at THE GALLEY. Looking 
beautiful as ever was Grande Duchess 
Billy Diamond and Troy and the lovely 
Arvis and escort. 1 wore another gown 
from the movie, “Anne of a Thousand 
Days.” 

Don’t forget the 1st annual G.G.T. 
Picnic sponsored by THE SAVOY and 
TINKER’S DAMN on June 27th—will 
be fun galore! Also see you at the 
Coittilion Ball at THE VILLAGE, June 
26th. 

Dick Foster and Bob Browning-love 
that name-are moving to Arizona— 
they’ll be back-Steve Rego and Doug 
moved into a new lavish apartment on 
Winchester, Isn’t love grand. 

Had a fabulous steak dinner at THE 
SAVOY with Grande Czarina I, Sally 


and Doug Oldfield. Be sure to try their 
drink THE SAVOY Special-Wow! We 
had a ball. Thanks again Sally. 

We had a pre-show dinner at the Sum¬ 
mer Palace. My guests included Bashka, 
Billy Diamond and Troy, Goldie 
Montana, Don Gray, Dennis Law, Doug 
Oldfield-Then flew up to the city to 
see Perry’s show at THE VILLAGE. 
Empress Cristal looked fabulous-even 
out of drag-and Bob Ross seemed to be 
enjoying the show as much as we did. 

Had a ball at THE LE CABERET Sat. 
night. Monty was behind the bar work- 


ing his hair off. Saw Kika the Peninsula 
wonder with his guests from—there’s 
that word again-Hawaii. 

Who ever sent me those six dozen 
white roses forgot to enclose their 
name-thank you so much. 

THE TINKER’S DAMN in Santa 
Clara has offered the Metropolitan Com¬ 
munity Church their back room for rap 
sessions. 

Downtown Sunnyvale had its annual 
summer art show held on the mall and 
the scenery was beautiful.

ROYAL SCANDAL!!! Told you one 
would get burnt toes!!! What was the 
Court Jester’s car doing parked in front 
of Black Swan Hall at. 2 A.M. while 
Cristal was at an anniversary party — 
unescorted by the Imperial Household. 

Does anyone know the real name of 
The Dog Lady of Turk Street?? Seems 
she’s opening a new bar in the Tender¬ 
loin — S.F.’s really newest FUN BAR. 

Sunshine “The Picket Lady” offered 
me $25.00 would you believe still mak¬ 
ing it at my age — 33!! 

Well, well—now there are three 
Dowager Empresses who have been ar¬ 
rested—seems as if the Baron went to 
bail the last one out and was promptly 
arrested too. Why don’t people pay 
their traffic tickets when they get 
them-REMEMBER-United We Stand, 
Divided they pick us up one at a time. 

THE PENDULUM sure has a good 
P.R. man in Shorty. Makes you want to 
go out there to see what’s happening at 
the bar that started it all. 


What aging bartender at the EARLY 
BIRD is serving Geritol cocktails? Does 
Hans really need them? 

What Polk Street bar owner is so 
hungry for the “MARK” that he had to 
sell beer on the bus to the Tavern Guild 
meeting in Sacramento? 

I wish to thank all the civic minded 
people that turned out to register to 
vote. Now all we have to do is get them 
to the poles.on election day. Thank you 
Henry!!! 

Jim Bonko of the P.S. has a new 
name now. Seems as if he wanted to 
attack a member of the cast of THE 
ROYAL SCANDALS but couldn't 
break down the bedroom door and had 
the window almost smash his fingers as 
he tried to climb through—such devo¬ 
tion from Jim “Chubby Chaser” 
Bonko!! 

Gene Peck formerly of the YACHT 
CLUB-which won’t permit any gay 
publications on their premises or join 
the Tavern Guild is going to manage 
THE MAGIC GARDEN which is 
AGAIN being remodeled as it was 
originally. Good Luck!! 

Hank from the PAGE ONE is enter¬ 
taining the cast of THE ROYAL 
SCANDALS at dinner at 5:30 P.M. on 
Saturday the 3rd of July prior to their 
opening night performance. Hope to see 
you all at both places. Kindly make my 
opening night flowers a “Lipstick” red. 

What Imperial Minstrel receives a 
rose a day from the “After 2 AJVI. 


Czarina of Polk Street”—A former star, 
making a comeback. 

NOW-About Aunt Millie and the 
TRIDENT-First I want to commend 
Millie for the exceptional job she is 
doing, both in her restaurant critiques 
and her delightfully readable Hors 
D’oeuvrs. This in spite-or is it be- 
cause?-of her past association with one 
of the most “understated” and under¬ 
paid “gourmet cooks” in the homophile 
community. One who is known to have 
only the kindest things to say about his 
competition’s cuisine. Keep up the good 
work you lovable Portugese Broad. 
However, I do take umberage as regards 
her review of the TRIDENT. The 
TRIDENT is not a gay spot. This in 
itself should not except it from a review 
by our dear old Millie. The TRIDENT 
closed for six months one year in order 
to break a Union contract. A lot of 
“GAYS” were hurt by this. In the seven 
years prior to this the management 
USED many of us on a sometime basis. 
When'I lived in Sausalito it was a stand¬ 
ing joke that if you wanted booze in 
your Ramos Fizz you ordered it “with”. 

In these vastly competitive days I 
feel that dear old Millie might better 
spend her time dining and having a little 
nip of Bombay gin and start reviewing 
OUR little restaurants.

Was visiting Inez Fegguria this week¬ 
end to see the three pieces of recently 
purchased watercolors by Ronald Trent 
of Wisconsin. Of the three. Nocturnal 
Fantasy was by far the best of the three 
purchased. Remember the name, very 
collectable. 

The BIZZARE on Church is having a 
sale for the next two weeks and is hav¬ 
ing a fantastic turnover. While one is 
shop/minding the other is out hauling it 
in. The late 19th c., three sconce 
candleabra is on sale for $95. And am 
surprised that it has not been bought. It 
was a good buy at $125.00. The furni¬ 
ture has been repriced at almost a forty 
percent discount, and some of the Price 
collection at fifty percent. Good pricing 
Ken, keep it up for the late scavangers. 

Must bring to your attention the 
work of a local S.F. artist. Miss Lili 
Butler. Watercolor and ink. Fresh, and 
directly to the point. She is presently 
showing a few pieces with Mr. Tracy, at 
the Tao Gallery, 1825 Union, upstairs. 
This gallery just recently opened and 
the endeavor must be mentioned. It was 
designed to show the art at the best 
advantage. And by their apparent 
honest concern for the artist and the 
product, you cannot go wrong in stop¬ 
ping by for a few moments to say hello 
and shop around. Best of luck you two, 
and the poster advertisement giveaway 
is a good calling card. 

Miss Franklyn is having another show 
at the Monkey Tree Gallery on Valencia 
in the near future, and will be advertised 
well in advance, so look for it and be 
sure to drop in. 

This is all for this trip, but must 
mention the Perriwinkle Gallery on 
Pedro point, south of Pacifica. It just 
opened and is having a tremendous sale 
on inks, and washes on the S.F. Vic¬ 
torian scene. Cannot remember the 
name of the artists involved, but am 
expecting a flyer and will mention it 
next time around.

June 20,1971 
The Editors; 

It would appear that everyone in town is 
writing columns, in which they review bars, 
restaurants and shows. We, my lover and I, are 
in no way professional critics or writers, but 
would like to express our views on the perfor¬ 
mance of two show groups at the PAGE ONE 
on Saturday, June 19th. 

We went to PAGE ONE for dinner and to 
see the show “Perry and His Vector Boys”. 
Having enjoyed the first performance so 
much, we decided to stay after dinner to see 
the second show. Much to our delight, the 
routines were different, which made it all the 
more enjoyable. It must have been very dif¬ 
ficult for Perry and his cast to work in such a 
small area, but he certainly pulled it off with 
aplomb. 

However, just at the start of the second 
show another show group started arriving af¬ 
ter their own performance at BIMBO’S. It ap¬ 
peared that, to them, their entrance was more 
important that the performance in progress. 
And, when the Star arrived, he had no qualms 
about interrupting Perry’s act. The rest of 
Perry’s show was difficult to hear over the din 
emenating from the tables of the new arrivals. 

After Perry’s show finished, the other 
group spontaneously put on what we assumed 
to be excerpts from the show at BIMBO’S. It 
appeared to us to be very rude for one group 
to first interrupt another, and then try to out¬ 
shine them. 

We had tickets to the Sunday performance 
at BIMBO’S, but after the display Saturday 
night we decided to unload them. 

Perry, you were great, despite the inter¬ 
ruptions. You are a true showman. 

Sincerely, 

John and Rich

Re: Windmills-June 15th Edition 

Dear Dick, 

After reading your excellent response to 
j.B., I felt compelled to do something which I 
had never done before. Write a letter to a 
paper. 

As you know, I was vice president of a S.F. 
Bike club, and was (frequently am-still) in 
my leather bag. I also have a closet full of 
dresses, another of straight (?) business 
clothes, as well as my leather and westemat- 
tire. Now that I have copped out to being a 
“closet queen”, I’ll get to the point. 

When the so-called “butch” cats get to 
screaming (?) about drag, I would remind 
them of something: 

1. What “drag” really is, is a costume 

2. What leather, as we know it is also a 

costume , 

3. What the western trip is (me too) is also 
a costume. 

THEREFORE: IT IS ALL DRAG 

I am not knocking anyone’s trip, I can’t 
because I dig them all. But what I am trying 
to say is that it takes about twenty minutes to 
slip into whatever scene I’m in the mood for 
at that particular time. I have no doubt that 
some of my brothers in leather will object to 
what I have said, but believe me, there are a 
hell of a lot more of them who are sensible 
enough to appreciate what I am saying. 

I know several hundred leather enthusiasts 
who have never been on a bike. I’ve owned 
severaL 

I know even more who are in the western 
scene, and I’ll damn well bet that there aren’t 
a hell of a lot who have ever been near a 
horse. I rode the rodeo circuit as many of 
them know. 

I know many drag queens (among others)

AUCTION 


















who find the entire leather scene and all that 
it stand for, to be repugnant. My feelings to 
them are the same as they are to the J.B.’s of 
the other side. 

Jose Sarria said something during a show 
that he did at the MAGIC GARDEN some 
months ago. I cannot quote it verbatim, but 
in essence “he” said: 

“All of you leather boys please remember 
this. Years ago, when S.F. was up-tight about 
the gay scene, it was those “tired old drag 
queens” who led the fight, much as the civil 
rightists are doing today. They were the ones, 
out of their closets, who said to the S.F.P.D., 
Bust me, and then they fought. I do not know 
if J.B. is a San Franciscan, but let me en¬ 
lighten him. In thos days when you got 
busted, they did it L.A. style, printing your 
name, address, AND WHERE YOU WORKED 
in all the daily papers, and it was a real circus. 
So every time you pass a drag queen who is 
trying to do something, instead of passing 
judgement, say thanks. WITHOUT WHAT 
THEY DID THEN, AND ARE TRYING TO 
DO NOW, THERE WOULD BE NO 
“MIRACLE MILE, THERE WOULD NOT BE 
THE GENERAL ACCEPTANCE OF OUR 
COMMUNITY THAT THERE IS NOW, and 
as a matter of fact, there wouldn’t be much of 
anything of the world that had been created 
and nurtured for ALL OF US, and BY ALL 
OF US. 

Now, back to J.B.’s letter. Regarding pros¬ 
titutes and those providing “services”. Unless 
my eyes and ears belie me, it seems that the 
prostitutes and “services” are dominated by 
he-man types, who blatantly quote in their 
ads that leather, cowboy, S & M are their 
specialties. Albeit, there are some drag queens 
hustling the tenderloin and the meat rack. My 
question to you is, what is the ratio of hust¬ 
ling drag queens, to hustling “butch(?)” studs 
in the same area. Perhaps, with a little more 
understanding on the part of ALL of us, 
people like that would not be restricted to 
selling “services” for a living. Unfortunately, 
in this case, a knock is not a boost, but 


another nail in our collective coffin. I do not 
dig street hustling in or out of drag, but I’d 
rather try to say or do something constructive 
about it rather than lay it on one quarter. 
Think about how many “butch” types have 
supplemented their income from time to time 
by a little side action. 

Paragraph four of his letter to you stated 
that the bulk of the people picked up by the 
P.D. are mostly undesirable shits who carry 
on in public, making asses out of themselves, 
and who are no asset to any community. 
Thank you God for passing the judgement. 
But may I point out that there is more 
hanky-panky or whatever you choose to call 
it, in the so-called “butch” bars than ever a 
man in woman’s attire (drag?) would dram of. 
I’m sorry J.B., you were such a bitch regard¬ 
ing drag queens, that you forgot the activities 
that S.F.T.G., S.I.R., many bike clubs, and 
also the drag queens, ARE ALL ASSETS TO 
THE COMMUNITY WHEN THEY PUT 
FORTH IN THEIR BUSINESSES AND AC¬ 
TIVITIES FOR ALL THE COMMUNITY - 
while you choose to ignore the fact that you 
have overlooked-what indeed is in your own 
closet and back door. 

Thank you Dickie, for putting up with my 
long windedness. But I am in the unique 
position of having been in almost all of those 
bags, and I’m not ashamed of any of them. 
Thank you also for being an asset to the en¬ 
tire community. 

Thank you C.M.C. for all the good things 
you have done. 

Thank you Cristal, for all the good things 
you are trying to do, in spite of the smallness 
of some of the thinking which seems to 
abound in some quarters. 

Thank you San Franciscans, for the many 
things you are doing in an effort to improve 
our lot. 

Thank you Shirley for the years of effort 
which you have never ceased to put out. 

Thanks to all the bike clubs. We are en¬ 
riched by your charitable efforts to the EN¬ 
TIRE community. 


Thank you Jose for the many well in- 
tentioned and good things you have given to 
San Francisco over these many years I have 
known you. 

But most of all, thank all of you wo try to 
pull, our community together. Even when 
you fail, you win, because you did care 
enough to try, rather than bitch. 

I am a native San Franciscan, and proud of 
both my city, and my community. The time 
has come for us—WHATEVER DRAG WE 
MAY WEAR-to at least have the courtesy to 
let people enjoy their own scene-in their own 
way. There are sufficient detractors on the 
other side, without us doing it to each other.. 
WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, WE ARE 
ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, TRY AC¬ 
TING LIKE IT. 

J.B., I hope you read the thank you’s 
above. If you go down the list categorically, 
you will find sufficient numbers of both sides 
of the question who do contribute muqh. I 
haven’t even mentioned the entertainers who 
make you laugh when you need it nor the 
many hours and much loot which they have 
all donated along with a lot of drag queens on 
many many occasions when it became neces¬ 
sary to go to the community for aid for bars 
and individuals, never asking what they were 
or where their head was. Now that is a ONE¬ 
NESS of community that you and others like 
you might try to emulate. Come out of your 
closets and be “you”. As long as you are dis¬ 
creet in your “activities”, the community will 
let you dig your scene, as long as you respect 
theirs. 

I close saying this. “I am a leather guy. I 
am a cowboy “bona fide” I am a drag queen. 
But more importantly, I am a human being, 
who believes that everyone should be able to 
pick his own life style and enjoy it. Regard¬ 
less. And it might surprise you to know J.B., 
that I’nji also a pretty good man.

Did you realize, a very small percen¬ 
tage of our community set out to raise 
money. The amount of money raised 
was approximately fourteen thousand 
dollars. 

Did you realize that only nine people 
received benefit of this money. 

It seems to prove how we think and 
operate within ourselves. Much of these 
finances raised were raised on an emo¬ 
tional basis, through emotional involve¬ 
ment. Which we think'is beautiful, but, 


why is it, it seems so hard for us to get 
together on such things; as political in¬ 
volvement? Because politics are not 
emotionally motivated? We would think 
that this is not so. It certainly seems as 
if much of our emotional problems go 
way back to politics and our illegal form 
of life. 

Would it not be interesting and 
beneficial to all, if We, as a group got 
together and took advantage of the fact 
that we have a crack in the door. If we 
got together as a group of one and gave 
our support to one candidate for the 
Board of Supervisors. 

Get together as a group, of one, and 
not allow our first real chance for repre¬ 
sentation in our community government 
to be ruined by the impulsive decision 
of so many who desire to be elevated to 
a political capacity or TITLE. 

In our present situation and state, we 
feel we must now take the time to think 
and choose just ONE!!! 

Do not split our chances for repre¬ 
sentation by allowing so many candi¬ 
dates to separate our VOTE. 

With this issue coming so alive, we 
must have unity. .

LOCO 

WEATHER 

REPORT 

by Cecil Knockherworst Weatherbee 

July—July—July is a very active 
month with warm winds breezing about 
town causing temperatures to remain at 
a comfortable level — This is surprising 
since this is the month of fireworks 
and independence, but, nevertheless one 
should take advantage of this weather 
and enjoy the varied gay festivities that 
are approaching — The foul weather 
that lingered on Larkin Street seems to 
be clearing up with the GANGWAY and 
TOTIE’S doing their thing on the fourth 
and fifth — It should be a real map 
Polish wedding — The sky should be 
blue for this event unless that delirious 
lovely frilly fluff-fluff red whirlwhind 
from the Turk Street area gusts in. — 
Speaking of this red whirlwhind what 
big beautiful buxom baby has been sec¬ 
retly lingering about like a fog and 
watching every move of this centrifugal 
force—Could be foul weather or a 
stand in?? 

THE ROYAL SCANDALS at the 
COVERED WAGON on the third and 
fourth should blanket the Folsom Street 
area with a conglomeration of hot and 
cold air blasts, voids, dark clouds, whirl¬ 
winds, dust storms, slides, spasmodic 
gushers,- drafts, chills, upheavels, smog, 


fog, tremors, quakes and some driz- 
zel— All in all it should be an enjoyable 
weekend.— And since this is a super¬ 
imposing event it should not be ig¬ 
nored — Blankets are recommended — 
THE ROYAL SCANDALS cast is com¬ 
posed of a galaxy of stars representing 
different areas of San Francisco from 
Castro Gulch, Folsom Street, Tender¬ 
loin, Polk Gulch, Upper Grant, etc., 
etc., etc., and that’s a lot of weather, 
but each is a wind in themselves with 
tempermental weather conditions — a 
fun group to watch working together 
then off to their own individual 
thing — That’s what you call beautiful 
weather people. 

L.A. will have a short spell of Cristal 
showers when her Imperial Majesty will 
pay that city of smog a visit to represent 
San Francisco’s gay scene in the 
Christopher Street Parade which is spon¬ 
sored by the M.C.C. — That Reverand 
Troy Perry is a sunrise bursting with 
energy—Cristal will also be present at; 
Los Angeles Maggie Awards. — United 
we stand divided they will pick us up 
one by one— The North Beach seems 
to be very spasmodic in the gay storms 
especially at BIMBO’S and THE 
VILLAGE— Past events saw a flaming 
spark and a charred cinder, that’s the 
difference between a thunderstorm and 
a quell. 

I hope THE SPOONFUL OF 
SUGAR is real, and not saccharine!! 

A shower of entertainment will be 
presented at the P.S.’s new show room 
when Allan Lloyd appears in person stir¬ 
ring his dust storm — A beautiful fun 
person, a rose a day does that mean a 
luke warm romance? 

Have fun on the holiday — Take 
Care—And be beautiful because I’m a 
yankee doodle dandy. Enjoy

A TRIP DOWN MAMMARY LANE 


Oh waiter, waiter could you take my 
order please, I have a dead line to meet. 
I’ll have a small No. 10 and a large glass 
of wine. 

“What are you writing, are you going 
to school?” 

“No, worse than that, I’m writing a 
column for B.A.R.” 

“Oh” I think I really impressed him. 

It was along about 11 P.M. on Mon¬ 
day last, when we started our trip. Some 
friends wanted to hit Folsom Street. So 
we started at 6th. We entered the prem¬ 
ises (as they say in police reports) to the 
strains of “You’re Cheating Heart.” 

It was the “Sunset Ramblers” a four 
piece Drum set. (shades of the Pioneer 
Club, West Sacramento, 1954). This 
Club is multi level, has a fire place, a 
wheel of chance, actually its really hard 
to describe, suffice to say early garage 
sale. Horse collars, saddles etc. lots of 
etc. Wait, What is this, there is a guest in 
the audience, “a warm round of ap¬ 
plause” We clapped. And then would 
you believe, Ann Carr. She is going to 
sing one of her own compositons. 
Granted the woman is 78 years old so 
you wouldn’t expect too much would 
you. Well have you ever heard bourbon 
washing rocks in a sluice box. She took 
her own song, “How come you do me 
like you do me” and turned it every¬ 
way, inside, outside, turned it over, 
every way but loose, which is what she 
should have done with it. She’s a spry 
old gal and I have to admire her guts, if 
not her voice. Have you ever heard a 
drill sergeant sing in the shower? 

The bar was doing a brisk business 
(yes Virginia, one can be driven to 
drink). I had to assure one of my com¬ 
panions that the numbers standing 
around in leather were indeed butch, in 
fact, most of them didn’t even take as¬ 
pirin when they plucked their eyebrows. 
He also commented that many were 
wearing chains and straps and things, I 
told him that’s what held them together 
(you may interperet that anyway you 


like). All in all we did have a good time, 
due largely on the part of the groovy 
bartender, who, in spite of what seemed 
like insurmountable odds, kept up with 
the good vibes. It reminded me of the 
Saturday nights I spent in Alturus, 
shooting pool and drinking beer, and 
hoping the girl 1 was trying to pick-up 
would say no. 

I’m not putting the place down, after 
all, camp, high or low can be beautiful. 

Note to Diane: have you seen the 
slides they are showing? Wow! 

*1 realise one tweezes eyebrows and 
plucks a turkey, don’t argue semantics 
with me. I call ’urn the way I see ’em. 

AN 

EVENING 

OUT 

TWTWTNSHB 

(This Was The Week That Never Should 
Have Been) 

I’m afraid all evenings or weeks can 
never be too great but one always looks 
for a silver lining. 

The week I pertain to obviously had 
.sent it’s silver lining to the cleaners for 
' not one bright spot ever came my way. 

We were first invited to a sneak pre¬ 
view of a film, “Johnny Minitaur” at 
the Nob Hill Theatre now under the 
management of Ken Marlow. We sup¬ 
posedly were about to witness a cinema 
wonder. Well I wonder if Mr. Marlow 
screened it before we saw it. I hope not* 
There aren’t enough bad things to say 
about it. I can’t even, call it erotic or 
pornographic. Wait, there was one 
bright spot in the film. A Greek boy 
playing the title role, I guess, became' 
over passionate with a Casaba Melon. 
My comment, “They’re passing all these 
new laws, they’ll have to add a new one 
for having relations with consenting 
vegetables.” Enough of filmdom. 

My next trek for me was to the Val 
du Val show at the Alley Cat. A one 
time thing, thank goodness. 

I waited to see something but alas- 
what can one say. I understand from 
those who know and have been here 
long enough-make it very clear that at 


one time Mr. Du Val had his hand on 
the pulse of his type of 
entertainment-but unless one keeps up 
dating material a little—when one 
reaches for the pulse only a cadaver 
remains. 

Our next trip for us was to “Tricia’s 
Wedding” a film by the “Cock-ettes” 
There were some bright spots but on the 
whole I could have done without it. 

The one thing I did kind of enjoy 
was-one of the shorts prior to the film. 
It was one of Nixon’s 1952 speeches in 
which he said all the things he is still 
saying today. Even the hand gestures 
were the same. 

Finally we went to the very pub¬ 
licized, maybe over-publicized, would 
be better, “Dearie Do You Remember”. 
Starring you’ll never guess who? Perry. 
The Vector Boys wer& heaven and need¬ 
less to say brave. I know “try, try, 
again” is a good motto but really. Good 
manners don’t hurt either. When one is 
so self involved with an unrecognized 
title and publicly announces said title 
introducing a foreign court and then 
says “Oh I see Cristal is here.” I really 
wonder where her mind could have 
been. If she runs for whatever she usual¬ 
ly runs for about now, I would hope she 
would find it, her brain that is. 1 would 
feel creepy being represented by this 
kind of thinking. 

One would also hope a show would 
be rehearsed long enough so costume 
changes were on time and more impor¬ 
tant the (STAR) would know what she 
was doing so she wouldn’t have to start 
a number again in front of a packed 
house of 30. I sure hope another week 
like that one never darkens our skies for 
a long time. Until, next time, a not so 
Kissy Diki is still saying.,.
